Dial-up Internet access

approximately 3 billion Internet users globally and most users have never heard of or aware of the group known as the “Surveillance Society”. Welcome to the century where everything you do is composed, accumulated, investigated and sold to strangers. Internet surveillance doesn’t occur by a user surfing the internet or accessing different websites, it occurs as soon as the user connects to the internet through the ISP (Internet Service Provider). The ISP assigns an IP (Internet Protocol)…

common questions that are asked is, what is a modem? Well modem is an acronym for (modulator-demodulator) which essentially means that its primary job is to encode and decode binary signals to allow computers or essentially any end systems to access the Internet. Originally, phone lines were used to carry analog information and a converter was needed to decode these signals, therefore the modem was born. Initially, modems were used as a way for Teletype machines (printers) to communicate over…

Everyone in this room uses the internet, probably daily, but many of you may not realise a threat which could harm the way our internet works, net neutrality intends to protect us consumers from the threats. Net Neutrality is often mistaken to be related to censorship, or other seemingly unethical act, that's just a small part, the idea of Net Neutrality is, in a nutshell, that all data carried over the internet should be treated equally. This means that any organisation, government or corporate…

information on the internet should be treated the same and should not have restrictions by internet service providers. The term was created by Tim Wu, a professor of telecommunication law at the University of Columbia (Thyra). Tim Wu believes that the public should all have access to internet information equally regardless of what it is and how much information is provided. Net neutrality would have been a benefit to the company Netflix when it was restricted bandwidth from internet service…

reclassified broadband access as a telecommunications service and therefore a common carrier, in turn applying Title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 makes it unlawful for any common carrier to “make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services” (47 U.S. Code § 202). The ruling was a groundbreaking decree that ensured the Internet would…

as a whole? How are consumers affected? To clear the air, net neutrality is basically a principle in which internet providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. Today, December 14, 2017 marks the date when a vote was taken for federal regulators to allow internet providers to speed up services for websites they favor and block down or slow down others, states Jhaan Elker. In the event…

The way Telstra handled this change required numerous tests to examine the speed that the Gigabit LTE was capable of. The highest speed extended up to 886 Megabytes per second which displayed its ability to download data up to 10x quicker than the highest Megabytes a typical home user can grasp on the NBN. The launch also involved collaborated with multiple organisations such as Ericsson, Qualcomm and Netgear to make this launch successful…

Net neutrality is the idea that the Internet should be free and open to everyone equally. Without FCC regulation, this free Internet can not exist. The present and future world will need the free Internet to maintain the economy and our everyday lives. The FCC privacy rollback that you voted for this past March is a landmark in the decline of these vital regulations. Consumer privacy is important and voting against it is directly working against the people you represent. Consumers do not benefit…

getting what you fully pay for is frustrating yet calming. The government is wanting to protect the general population from seeing something most have most likely seen, knowing what is out there in the world is one of the most asked questions. The internet holds…

However, censoring the Internet for children would definitely limit what adults could view and communicate. Preventing your children to have access to inappropriate websites can be achieved without removing the website itself. I strongly believe it is the parent's responsibility to limit the access of the Internet for their children. For example, filtering can be done by parents by making a list of obscene words and…
